"Incredible," "staggering,"
"enormous," "out of time"--the expressions of outrage have been flying in Italy since
a Milan magistrate sentenced to prison three journalists for the weekly magazine
Panorama. On May 24, Andrea Marcenaro
and Riccardo Arena were each condemned to a one-year jail term for a 2010
article discussing Palermo magistrate Francesco Messineo's alleged family
connections to the mafia. The editor-in-chief of the center-right news magazine,
Giorgio Mule, was sentenced to eight months in jail for "having failed to check
the article." The three journalists must also pay 20,000 euros (US$26,000) in compensation
to the defendant.
